I use Mozilla regularly as a browser but may have to resort to something else as this search business is getting on my nerves.

I'm a long-term fan of Google which in my opinion, and the opinion of countless others is the best search engine on the market. The AVG Security toolbar though, despite it's claims of being a "security toolbar", interferes with search settings and installs utter rubbish by the name of "Yahoo". I want to remove Yahoo entirely and block and future installs from it.

I've tried "about:config" and types google on the provider names, but it seems AVG have gone one step further. When I type Google in, it reverts straight back to Yahoo. Apparently they have seen fit to try and remove any choice the user have.

Is this even legal? I can find no means of removing or disabling it, and Yahoo keeps popping back up for my address bar searches. It's quite simple. Yahoo sucks and we dont' want it...

See if this helps. Set the AVG default search engine. http://www.avg.com/special-toolbar-how-to-disable-search-tlbrf.tpl-mcr1
You may then need to reset keyword.URL in about:config. See:

You need to update your plug-ins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:

  • Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5 (new version release 08/24/2010)
  • Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape (you may need to update)
  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
  • Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20 for Mozilla browsers
  1. Check your plugin versions: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    • Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions
  2. Update Shockwave for Director
    • NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player.
    • Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below (Desktop is a good place so you can find it).
    • When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit)
    • locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.
    • Restart Firefox and check your plugins again.
    • Download link and more information: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Shockwave+plugin+with+Firefox
  3. Update Adobe Reader (PDF plugin):
    • From within your existing Adobe Reader (if you have it already installed):
      • Open the Adobe Reader program from your Programs list
      • Click Help > Check for Updates
      • Follow the prompts for updating
      • If this method works for you, skip the "Download complete installer" section below and proceed to "After the installation" below
    • Download complete installer (if you do NOT have Adobe Reader installed):
      • Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below
      • On the Adobe page, un-check any extra items (i.e. Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus) then click Download button
      • If you see message just under tabs, DO NOT click the Allow button, instead click below that where it says "click here to download".
      • Click "Save to File"; save to your Desktop (so you can find it)
      • After download completes, close Firefox
      • Click the installer you just downloaded and allow the install to continue
        • Note: Vista and Win7 users may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
      • Download link and more information: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader
    • After the installation, start Firefox and check your version again.
  4. Update Shockwave Flash
  5. Update Java: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Java+plugin+with+Firefox
